What about making your own? The ingredients are, well, you know. :lol:
Warm the bee's wax before adding the linseed oil, going for a 50/50 mix.
Hope this helps,

You can get you bee's wax from http://www.wsjenkins.co.uk/

They might do the mix you want too

Any local beekeeping club could put you into contact with a local beekeeper who would be willing to sell you some wax. If you get stuck, I can sell you some and post it.

Careful when you heat it - you should use a waterjacketed pan, and not use a naked flame. And its possible to overheat/catch fire - so minimum heat to stir in the linseed oil.

now the next question is
are we sure about the 50/50 mix?
and is it boiled or raw linseed?
